On Place du Village, right by the river, a walk is enough to get acquainted. After that, the no-strings part is for the two of you to decide.
At the island's eastern tip, facing the river, this neighbourhood of the Rivière-des-Prairies–Pointe-aux-Trembles borough has an old village core and a riverfront of its own. For something casual, that position helps: you're far from downtown, yet everything a first date needs is right here, from a resto-pub with bowling to a walk by the water.
On the site, nothing's rushed: your profile in three steps, profiles to look at for free from your phone, and a Gold subscription when you want to write. After that, a first drink at the resto-pub on Boulevard du Tricentenaire takes two lines to suggest.
There's no metro station here, so people go by the river and the old village. Place du Village opens onto the water, the Maison de la culture is on Rue Notre-Dame Est, the Maison Antoine-Beaudry is a well-known landmark, and Parc de la Traversée runs its footpath and bike path between Rue Victoria and Rue du Prince-Albert.
Drinks
Boulevard du Tricentenaire
A resto-pub with draft beer, food and activities: bowling, laser tag, escape rooms, arcade games. A round of bowling or an arcade game breaks the ice better than a long silence, and the draft beer does the rest.
A meal
Rue Sherbrooke Est
A breakfast and brunch restaurant that specializes in egg dishes. Eggs, coffee and daylight: brunch keeps a first date simple, and nobody feels committed to the whole evening.
A night out
Rue Notre-Dame Est
A performance hall and an exhibition space, with free entry to the exhibitions. A free exhibition makes a first date with no cost and no pressure, and an evening show gives you something to talk about on the way out.
A walk
Between Rue Victoria and Rue du Prince-Albert
A linear park with a footpath and a bike path. Pick a spot along it to meet, then walk or ride as far as the mood takes you, with no plan set in advance.
Not if you live there, and that's the point: everything is on hand. A round of bowling at BoulZeye, brunch on Rue Sherbrooke Est, a walk on Place du Village by the river: you have plenty for a first date without crossing the island. Say plainly what you're after, then create your free profile and see who wants the same thing.
A free account lets you look at profiles and photos. Writing to someone, and opening the full galleries, takes a Gold subscription.
